Shooting Mars West End
CITIZENS ARE AROUSED BY OFFICER'S SUNDAY ACT
Say Shooting Of Colored Man Unwarranted And Brutal
Of all the shooting of Negroes without cause or upon the smallest pretext by policemen during the last few years none perhaps has aroused the colored people more than the shooting of William Smith by Patrolman Joseph Donnelly last Sunday afternoon. On West Chestnut Street live many of the prominent members of the race; the law-abiding, self-respecting colored people. During the Republican administration it is said that an officer was seldom seen walking the street even during the darkest hour of the night. Under the present Democratic administration it is said that an officer is always on the job. This meets the favor of a large number of colored residents who feel that the police protection is needed at all times. But colored people of West Chestnut Street and the West End were aroused and much excited over the marring of their usual peaceful community by the shooting and ultra brutal treatment by Officer Donnelly. About 3 o'clock last Sunday afternoon, an incident according to those who saw it, that was absolutely unwarranted. It is said that the patrol man, who was in uniform, accompanied

NEXT GOVERNOR LINCOLN-ROOSEVELT REPUBLICAN
MANY REASONS WHY EVERY NEGRO WILL VOTE FOR HIM
Just two weeks from next Tuesday Negroes here in Louisville and all over the state, as well as every white voter who is interested in the general welfare and progress of their state will go to the polls and vote for a man whose Republicanism is second only to such tried and true representatives of the principles of the party as Lincoln, Garfield, McKinley and Roosevelt. No amount of rumor, argument, controversy or whatnot will cause a single colored man or woman to fail to get up early Tuesday morning, November 8th and vote for Judge Flem D. Sampson for Governor of Kentucky. There are at times to be found an ungrateful person here and there, but in all Kentucky there will be found on November 8 a Negro of voting age so ungrateful as to go the polls and vote against Judge Sampson. Negroes are not to be influenced to vote for Former Governor J. C. W. Beckham, the Democratic candidate for Governor against a man who a few weeks after being elected Judge of the Court of Appeals, handing down a decision in the suit by the colored Board of Education of Mayfield against the white Board to determine whether the colored children should have a share of the money arising from corporations, a thing the colored people had been denied, said among other things: "There is and can be no good reason arising from taxation of the property of these artificial beings; these children of the state having tangible form nor color, should be devoted exclusively to the education of white children. Colored children are the wards of the state in the same extent as are white children, and are equally entitled to care, protection and training, and this is vouchsafed not only by our form of government but by the express terms and provisions of our Federal and State Constitutions. The prime object and fundamental principle of our free school system is to

STRIKE AT HAMPTON SETTLED; ALUMNI SUPPORTS AUTHORITIES
Louisville Student Among 900 Who Left Institution
The student strike at Hampton is ended, and according to Dr. James E. Gregg, the president, classes will begin next week. It is reported that the alumni and former students are standing solidly behind the President and faculty and though the authorities are to be considerate and fair, the President makes it plain that Hampton Institute cannot be carried on with students who are disorderly and lawless. We have welcomed and shall welcome back all students who give evidence of their sincere purpose to cooperate with the officials and teachers in maintaining peace, order and the mutual friendliness and confidence without which no school can be truly successful.
The administrative board has adopted the following rules for the students to be governed by:
1. Young women and new students are assumed not to have been responsible for acts of deliberate insubordination, and therefore as not being subjects for discipline in connection [with?] the recent difficulties.
2. Students who absented themselves from classes and scheduled work are put on probation, such probation to be removed by the commandant as rapidly as evidence is given of satisfactory conduct and right shirit.
3. Those guilty of insubordination and of inciting others to insubordination immediately. Their future discipline is still under consideration by the administrative board and their cases will be dealt with individually and as rapidly as possible.
The Leader was the first newspaper in Kentucky and the first race paper in the country to carry anything about the Hampton Institute trouble last week. Among the Louisville young men and women of the approximately nine hundred students of Hampton Institute, one of the leading training schools in the country, who struck last Thursday morning are Willis Jetton, William Miller, H. W. Baker, Jr., and Miss Grace Chatwell. According to Baker, who was one of the leaders of the student [body?] which protested against conditions at the school, practically the entire body struck and had left, those who did not leave Thursday were preparing to leave.
